Should I take it or not? And what should I check on it to make sure I will be good with the car for "long" term?
Thank you !  |
lol ok walk away slowly! ...... just kidding the 50i is a very nice powerful V8 but over 100k miles be prepared to go broke as it's out of warranty and these engines can literally break you if your not prepared or can't wrench on an engine yourself.
Some things that can go wrong with this engine can set you back 8 to 10k in repairs.
One guy on this forum spent 36k in 6 years on repairs.
If your firm on getting a e70 or e71 over 100k look at the 35i for a more reliable high milage version their more bullet proof and cost less to repair. If your set on the 50i get a lower milage one so you may be able to get a warranty with it.
